re. bibliography instruction

[Donna Bowen <Donna_Bowen@BWDSB.ON.CA>]

        Here is one of the things that I do after teaching a few lessons and
providing a reference page.   I have a series of forms (usually 4 to 6 fit
on a page) that I keep in a partitioned box--one for book sources,
internet sources, encyclopedia sources etc.   On that form is all the
information that is required for the bibliography in the correct order and
with the correct punctuation.  Students in the upper grades are free to
use them any time they do research.  They staple the sheets to their
research and then use them to fill in the bibliography.   This often
alleviates forgotten information and then having to find the source all
over again.  For the 5's, I require a little less information.
